34. Chain of Command  Chain of command is an orderly line of authority within the ranks of the incident management organization. Authority

35. Transfer of Command (1 of 2)  Moves the responsibility for incident command from one Incident Commander to another.  Must include a transfer of command briefing (which may be oral, written, or both).

36. Transfer of Command (2 of 2)  Transfer of command occurs when:  A more qualified person assumes command.  The incident situation changes over time, resulting in a legal requirement to change command.  There is normal turnover of personnel on extended incidents.  The incident response is concluded and responsibility is transferred to the home agency.

37. Unity of Command  Under unity of command, personnel:  Report to only one supervisor.  Receive work assignments only from their supervisors. Don’t confuse unity of command with Unified Command!

38. Unified Command Unified Command:  Enables all responsible agencies to manage an incident together by establishing a common set of incident objectives and strategies.  Allows Incident Commanders to make joint decisions by establishing a single command structure.  Maintains unity of command. Each employee only reports to one supervisor. Fire AgencyLaw AgencyEMS Agency Resources Operations Section Chief Unified Command

39. Example: Unified Command  A football team is returning home from a State tournament. Their bus is involved in an accident on the bridge that marks the county line.  Most of the bus is in Franklin County.  A small part of the bus is in Revere County (their home county). Why might a Unified Command be used to manage this incident?

51. Elements of an Incident Action Plan  Every IAP must have four elements:  What do we want to do?  Who is responsible for doing it?  How do we communicate with each other?  What is the procedure if someone is injured?

52. Activity: Incident Action Plan  Instructions:  Working as a team, identify four items you would include in the IAP, based on the incident objectives identified earlier.  Write these items on chart paper.  Select a spokesperson. Be prepared to present in 5 minutes.

53. Modular Organization (1 of 2) Modular organization:  Develops in a top-down, modular fashion.  Is based on the size and complexity of the incident.  Is based on the hazard environment created by the incident.

54. Modular Organization (2 of 2) With modular organization:  Incident objectives determine the organizational size.  Only functions/positions that are necessary will be filled.  Each element must have a person in charge.

55. ICS Organization  In the ICS organization:  There is no correlation with the administrative structure of any other agency or jurisdiction. This organization’s uniqueness helps to avoid confusion over different position titles and organizational structures.  Someone who serves as a chief every day may not hold that title when deployed under an ICS structure.

56. Manageable Span of Control  Span of control:  Pertains to the number of individuals or resources that one supervisor can manage effectively during an incident.  Is key to effective and efficient incident management. Resource 2 Resource 3 Resource 1 Supervisor

57. Span of Control Considerations  Span of control considerations are influenced by the:  Type of incident.  Nature of the task.  Hazards and safety factors.  Distances between personnel and resources.

70. Interoperability Saves Lives  Jan. 13, 1982: Air Florida Flight 90 crashed into the 14th St. Bridge in Washington, DC, during a snowstorm. More than 70 people lost their lives. Police, fire, and EMS crews responded quickly to the scene but discovered that they couldn't coordinate their efforts because they couldn't talk to each other by radio. Sept. 11, 2001: When American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon, 900 users from 50 different agencies were able to communicate with one another. Response agencies had learned an invaluable lesson from the Air Florida tragedy. Interoperability makes sense. It's a cost-saver, a resource saver, and a lifesaver.

71. Integrated Communications Elements  Modes: The "hardware" systems that transfer information.  Planning: Planning for the use of all available communications resources.  Networks: The procedures and processes for transferring information internally and externally.

Response operations must be coordinated as outlined in the IAP.  Unity of Command. Each individual will be assigned to only one supervisor.

75. Accountability (2 of 2)  Span of Control. Supervisors must be able to adequately supervise and control their subordinates, as well as communicate with and manage all resources under their supervision.  Resource Tracking. Supervisors must record and report resource status changes as they occur.

76. Dispatch/Deployment  At any incident:  The situation must be assessed and the response planned.  Managing resources safely and effectively is the most important consideration.  Personnel and equipment should respond only when requested or when dispatched by an appropriate authority.

77. Discussion Question What’s the issue with having personnel arrive at an incident without being requested or dispatched?

78. Knowledge Review (1 of 2)  Instructions: Decide if the statement is TRUE or FALSE. Accountability means that individuals must abide by their agency policies and guidelines and any applicable local, tribal, State, or Federal rules and regulations.

79. Knowledge Review (2 of 2)  Instructions: Decide if the statement is TRUE or FALSE. In a major incident, willing and able personnel and equipment should respond even without being requested.

80. Summary (1 of 2)  ICS:  Utilizes management features including the use of common terminology and a modular organizational structure.  Utilizes the principles of chain of command, unity of command, Unified Command, and transfer of command.  Emphasizes effective planning through the use of management by objectives and Incident Action Plans.

81.
